FAQ

Common Questions

Quick, honest answers. If you have an active emergency — call first, read later.

What counts as a plumbing emergency?

Any situation where water is actively damaging your property or you've lost essential services. This includes burst or frozen pipes, active flooding, sewage backup, major leaks behind walls, no hot water in winter, and water heater failures. When in doubt — call. It's better to check than let damage compound.

Should I shut off the water first?

Yes — if it's safe and you can find the shutoff. Your main shutoff is usually near your water meter at the street, in a utility box, or along an exterior wall. Shutting it off immediately stops additional water damage while you wait for help. If you can't find it, call us and we'll walk you through it.

Do you serve rural areas?

Yes. We specifically built this network for Texas communities — including smaller towns and unincorporated rural areas that national services overlook. If you're not sure if we cover your location, just call. We'll either help directly or point you to someone who can.

How do I request help?

The fastest way is to call 1-888-488-7530. Leave your name, location, phone number, and a brief description of what's happening. You can also use the contact form on this site. We route requests to available local plumbers as quickly as possible.

What should I do about water damage while I wait?

After shutting off the water: move valuables and electronics away from wet areas, take photos for your insurance claim, place towels or buckets to contain spread, and avoid using electrical outlets or appliances in wet areas. Do not run fans to dry walls until the leak source is confirmed fixed.

My water heater is making a loud noise — is that an emergency?

Loud popping, rumbling, or banging often means sediment buildup or a pressure issue — both can lead to tank failure. If you also notice leaking, discolored water, or loss of hot water, treat it as urgent. If you smell gas near the unit, leave the house immediately and call 911 before calling us.

Is sewage backup dangerous?

Yes. Sewage contains harmful bacteria and pathogens. Avoid contact with the water, keep children and pets out of affected areas, and call for help immediately. Do not use any drains, toilets, or water in the home until the backup is fully resolved.

Are you a plumbing company or a referral service?

We are a lead routing and referral network. We connect people in plumbing emergencies with verified local plumbing professionals in their area. The plumber you speak with is a real local business — we just make sure you get to the right one fast.
